Rent School Equipment

leave a comment

Posted by Orangegirl:

Let’s face it school funding is a big issue. And some schools simply have more stuff than others. How about making some more money for the school?

How?

Does your school have excess sporting equipment – rent it out to other schools. Simple.

If you’re having a sports carnival and you are short of a few balls, hoops, starting guns etc then see if you can find a school in your area that is willing to rent theirs to you.

If you’re school needs or has:

Sporting equipment, high jump mats, laptops computers, BBQ’s, printers, photocopiers, jumping castles, trestle tables, science room equipment, gym equipment, football ovals, basketball court, rowing boats, even a minibus or literally anything which costs alot to buy - rent instead.

Do it right here on rentoid.com

Make some money for your school by renting our your equipment - Fund other purchases.

Save money by renting equipment for school events, sports carinvals, swimming carnivals and School fetes. With so many of any schools needs temporary it just makes sense to rent your school equipment to other schools when you are not using them. Also, why buy equipment you only need once a year? We’ve got it all here at rentoid.com, and if we don’t we’ll find a member who does.

How to set your rental prices

leave a comment

We’ve had a lot of members talking about prices on rentoid. Questions included, and our answers are beside them:

Why are some people putting up prices which seem a bit greedy?- We’re not sure

What is a fair price for my rental items? See below.

Can you delete items that are too expensive? No we can’t.

Can you control the pricing on rentoid? No we can’t.

Everything on rentoid and put up for rent is decided by the rentoid memebrs not us - That’s simply cause it’s your stuff, your site and so you decide. Fair enough we reckon. Anyway, if something is priced too high, it wont rent out, and you don’t have to rent it. We reckon over time people work out what’s fair and there will be anough of every itme for people to compare prices.

What to price things at?

Well it depends on a few things;

  • How often you use it… Some money is better than none on something you’re not using
  • How long the item lasts - For example gaming consoles get outdated very quickly, so a lower price makes sense given it won’t be worth much, if anything in a couple of years.

But my humble recommendation for pricing is 10% of it’s value for a week. So like $40-50 for a Nintendo Wii would be an example as they cost about $400 to buy. Also some common sesne ideas like making it cheaper for longer rental periods.

But, it’s your decision!
